U+FFEB "￫" Halfwidth Rightwards Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
￫
U+FFEB "￫" Halfwidth Rightwards Arrow is a typographic symbol designed to occupy half the width of a standard fullwidth character, making it particularly useful in East Asian text environments such as those for Japanese or Chinese scripts where character spacing is important. It represents a simple horizontal arrow pointing to the right, commonly employed in technical documentation, user interface layouts, or formatting contexts to indicate direction, progression, or a relationship between elements without taking the full visual space of a regular arrow. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent rendering across different platforms and fonts, supporting precise alignment in monospaced or mixed-width text settings.
